Horse Racing Tips for the Flight Stakes Premiere Epsom & Metrop 2024

One of the biggest weekends of the Sydney Spring Carnival is here with Epsom Day.

Three massive Group 1's and the key lead up to the Everest sets the scene. We have enlisted two of TheGreatTipOff.com’s top analysts, Mick Gannon and Luke Hovhanesian, to steer you into some winners.

Get the inside scoop on their top selections now and make sure you're fully prepared with this comprehensive form guide for the upcoming features.

 

Race 6 - Flight Stakes (1600m) - Mick Gannon

Bella Nipotina ($2.70) has gone to a new level this time in, which is remarkable considering she is a 7YO mare.

Her second in the Concorde was an equal career peak run and signalled that she continues to thrive on racing.

With even luck she wins that race and given it was over an unsuitable trip she looks almost unbeatable over the 1200m here.

Her nearest rivals in the race are two former Everest champs, who have been out of form and will need to improve significantly to win.

Happy to oppose both of them.

 

 

Race 7 - Premiere Stakes (1200m) - Mick Gannon

Snow In May ($6.00) impressed in the Tea Rose, running Autumn Glow to 1.2L.

She was slowly away and held up in the straight, yet still managed run the fastest last 600,400 & 200m of the race.

In a small field with a limited pace, look for her to get on the back of the favourite, Autumn Glow, who will again looks likely to be ridden upside down and finish fast.

The price differential between the two is far too significant and I think with even luck this time around Snow In May could cause a boil over.

 

 

Race 8 - Metropolitan (2400m) - Luke Hovhanesian

In a wide open Metropolitan it's best to look wide for value that the market may have missed.

Athabascan ($21.00) looks a big price on the back of two solid lead in runs.

His late work in the Chelmsford was outstanding before having the race shape against him in the Kingston Town.

He gets out to a peak distance and the John O'Shea yard is in a purple patch of form at the moment.

From barrier 9 he will get a great run midfield and granted they can run on looks a cracking each-way play.

Others at odds that peak interest: Immediacy ($17.00) and Etna Rosso ($9.00)

 

 

Race 9 - Epsom Handicap (1600m) - Luke Hovhanesian

I've been with Ceolwulf all campaign and can't see any reason to drop off now.

He was brilliant second up from his spell and then was brave last start after being exposed a long way from home.

He drops back from 2000m but in a strongly run Epsom that fitness is going to be worth its weight in gold.

Gets Chad Schofield aboard and while he will need some luck from barrier 14, with any cover can prove too sharp for his rivals with the low weight.
